Musicbrainz DBSo, he's lying on top again
Just like Gepetto with his doll
And he's running around again
And I can't get him out of this house
And if you bore him, you lose your soul to him
So, that kid from the bad home came over my house again
Decapitated all my dolls
And if you bore me, you lose your soul to me
Hey, Gepetto, where'd you put it?
Poor, Gepetto, poor, poor
And if you bore him, you're gonna lose your soul
Hey Gepetto, where'd you get me?
Poor Gepetto, poor, poor
So, he's lying on top again
Just like Gepetto

If all you haters stop your streaming, does that mean I get better bandwidth — and more springtime hopefulness — through my crappy 1/2-inch computer speakers? |

That's essentially saying that your aesthetic values based on the opinions of others, or that because others may like something that you cannot do so. Not in it of itself, but commercial appeal and dislike are very good friends and are rarely seen without the other. |

| ezzyme (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Apr 21, 2010 - 20:51 I've been listening to this CD a lot recently and there are 3 really great cuts on it. That alone in my book makes it more than worth it. Still gotta get into the other stuff but.... |

| TravelRat (Siberia) | Posted: Feb 04, 2009 - 02:53 I LOVED Tanya Donnelly (sp?) when she was with Throwing Muses, but I never really warmed up to Belly...  |

| queenjill (banana stand) | Posted: Apr 10, 2008 - 14:14 I saw Belly in a small club in Champaign Illinois in... 1993? Whenever it was they were touring for this album. Anyway, earlier that day I was walking down Green Street with a friend, who pointed out that Tanya was walking right in front of us. Just then, Tanya turned around and flipped off someone across the street from us -- double-barreled middle fingers -- with a big grin on her face. |
| theirishtickler (mothership, va) | Posted: Apr 10, 2008 - 14:11 anyone ever hear of emmet swimming? seems like the guitar/bass/drums are eerly similar who knows maybe they ripped off belly |

| lmic (Uniondale, NY) | Posted: Nov 05, 2007 - 10:03 To paraphrase an ancient Hebrew prayer, If Belly had given us only "Star," that would have been enough. Great stuff, 9. |
| ElectricSheep (Sydney) | Posted: Jul 18, 2007 - 04:29 This song has aged really well, I like it better now than when it used to get played endlessly on JJJ. |

| Shesdifferent (Just visiting this planet) | Posted: Jan 27, 2007 - 19:54 You can't call The Cardigan's bubble gum if your also listening to this. Just a comment. Actually I think they are better than the Cardigans but maybe not as diverse. |
